Datesha Montgomery, 27, a voter in Elizabethtown in October, planned to vote absentee by mail but, before she could fill out the ballot, she got a knock on her door from someone who said they were going to take care of her ballot.

Stacy Holcomb of Bladenboro says a woman wearing a Mark Harris t-shirt came by his apartment asking if he wanted to cast an absentee ballot by mail. He accepted her help getting a ballot and gave the woman the marked, sealed ballot after it arrived.

At a news conference Monday, Dec. 3, 2018, N.C. Democratic Party Chairman Wayne Goodwin said the elections board was right to delay certification of the election and call for a public hearing into irregularities in the 9th district.
